Mag52 After the Leicester game I thought we be struggling to get out of the bottom three we would be lucky to get to 30 pts never mind 40 pts – totally down and disolutioned with everything – seemed no heart in the players as if they were going through the motions. Even with a defeat on Saturday (cheated out of a pen) which made a hell of a difference in the outcome I am up and should do OK if we play with the same tempo, movement and heart . And two up front I would say the first half was the best performance we have played in the Premiership for many year

Should be an interesting Thursday evening for Mitro in Podgorica. The Montenegrins and Serbs have a rather thorny relationship which isn’t helped by the fact that the Montengrin Mafia has bumped off some prominent Serbs.

I’m interested why people say we played 2 up front on the weekend. I didn’t see the game as we had my cousin over from Oz with his new fiancee – did Perez and Muto play in a much different formation to when we played with Perez and Rondon / Joselu?

Or is it more that Muto would pull more out to the wings and leave space for Perez to advance into?

It’s also important that the focus of our discontent is on Ashley and not on either the team or Rafa. Under previous managers Ashley has got away with it while the manager took most of the flack. Rafa is the one hope the club has of regaining respectability and respect, both on and off the field.

We always seem to put on a show against Man Utd. My concern is we are not putting teams under enough pressure at home. Whether it’s one or two up front we need to start creating and taking chances. Brighton will hopefully be a turning point and it’s then onwards and upwards.

Rob I suppose it was not quite two up- front How could you put it – we did not have a centre forward who was isolated but two old fashioned inside forwards who’s movement and finding space taking their defenders with them, left space for Kenedy and Diame to run into making three up front

Rob A long time since I have been as excited watching the Toon on first half performance – movement, passing, keeping the ball on the deck and attacking with pace Also two quick mobile players is what Shelvey needs for his passing – had his best game this season. Long may it continue

Hello Point Help Line? Yes I’m having trouble getting some Points for my club. What can be done aboot that? You say I can file a P1SIS P00R document and complain to the appropriate MP? I believe that’s already been done but I will try again. Ta…

Let’s face it. Perez is never going to be a big goal scorer in the Prem. Nor is Hoser. Nor is Roundone. But we do have….,.wait for it…Mutomutomutomuto!!! You should sing that oot with a high pitched scream of delight!

All right Ashley what have you done with Ki? You didn’t send him to the Saudi embassy did you? So where is he? I can’t believe this. All the hype about Ki being a tremendous midfielder, a Korean national team player and now we don’t use him??? Is it because we flying so high without him??? WTF???

Sørensen reckons Salomón Rondón is the player he is learning most from , as his hold up play needs working on. He’s trying to bulk up with gym work but it’s a trade-off as you don’t want to lose sharpness by getting muscle bound

What kind of horsebleep call was that on Saturday. That wasn’t a handball in the ManU box? Who put that idiot in charge of a Prem game? He must be blind as a bat. We didn’t even get a corner! The ball completely changed direction. How did that happen? Witchcraft! Wake up FA!!!

I don’t see why we couldn’t give Sorensen a little taster in one of our upcoming matches. Say 10 minutes to begin. Or better still play him in wor first FA cup match and any more that we happen to win. Bring him along Rafa. Let him get a feel for it. We need some fresh ideas.

I don’t know where Roundone is. He’s on Physio Room as being possibly ready for Oct. 20th. Would he get a start? I doubt it, coming back from injury. I think we’ll stay with Muto and Perez to start against Brighton. I just don’t see where Roundone fits in when Mitro couldn’t make it with us. Strange story that one.

health update

My latest bone scans and CAT scans were completed on Wednesday of this week and yesterday I met with my oncologist Dr. Dhruva to look over the results.

The stage four cancer remains stabilized and has not spread any further over the last six months.

I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in early 2017 after being in remission for six years.

The cancer metastasized through the bones to different parts of the body and the treatment I am undergoing is hormone treatment.

There is no cure for stage 4 cancer but there are treatments (like Hormone treatment) that attempt to prolong life.

I am upbeat with the results and remain in awe of the doctors and nurses at the Rex Cancer Center here in Raleigh.

It's truly humbling to see how inspiring they are with their patients.

Kacper Tylenda Website Designer

One of our avid readers Kacper Tylenda from Poland was the person who came in during April, 2017 and redesigned this web-site from top to bottom.

We think he did a fantastic job to modernize the site with the roll-out on Thursday May 18th surprisingly smooth.

I am so appreciative of his help.

Kacper is starting his own business in web-design so if you want a website built or know of people who want to redo their sites in any way – here’s his portfolio.

It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.
